In Berlin, however, there is skepticism about the imposition of a ceiling on Russian natural gas import prices, as reported by Politico.
A proposal to impose a ceiling of 200 euros per megawatt hour for electricity producers other than natural gas is being worked out by Brussels, according to a report in the Financial Times.
According to the draft proposal, the European Commission will propose to member states to limit the price of electricity from producers such as wind farms, nuclear farms and lignite plants, which are affected by the high price of natural gas.
Berlin is wary
In Berlin, there is skepticism about imposing a cap on Russian natural gas import prices, as Politico reports.
We remain cautious when it comes to issues related to gas price ceilings, but in general we are ready for talks within the European framework, said a spokesman for Germany’s economy ministry.
A European diplomat criticized Berlin saying it was creating a problem as it “takes so long to decide on issues like the price ceiling”.
Last week, der Leyen raised the issue of capping Russian gas import prices. Since then, EU officials have been working on alternative options for the adoption of such a measure, which will be discussed today by representatives of the member states ahead of the extraordinary meeting of EU energy ministers on Friday.
